White House Guests in JacksOn's Time

White House Guests in JacksOn's Time
President Jackson's table manners were as
democratic as could be desired. He had at
each plate two forks, one of which was of sill
yer and the other Of steel The president
used q steel fork himself, and after his dinner
he always smoked his tobacco from long
handled corn cob pipe Andrew Jackson en-
tertained lavishly on the night Of his first in
auguration- The carpets Of the east room
were ruined by the orange punch and lemon
ade which were served to the crowd which
came to his reception. Barrels Of this punch
were made, and it was brought into the room
in buckets. At hast the people began to rush
for the walters as soon as they entered the
room. Glasses were broken and ladies' dresses
ruined. Tubs of punch were finally taken
into the garden, and in this way the throng
was drawn of and 1t was possible to serve
cake and wine to the ladies'
At Jaeksons farewell reception a monster
cheese, as big as hogshead in circumference
and nearly q yard thick, was cut with saw
blades made into knives and served out to the
guests. Each guest received three pounds OF
cheese. The event was the talk Of the nation,
and when Van Buren became president his
New York friends, cumulative Of jackson,
sent him a big cheese. 1t was cut up in the
east room. Ths greasy crumbs falling upon
the carpet were trampled into it, and the
ruination Of the furniture during these
two administrations led the later presidents
to discontinue the practice of serving eatables
at general receptions. Now no guest comes
TO dinner at the White House unless invited.

THE TALE OF LIFE.

Man Is today what man was yesterday
VIII be tomorrow; let him curse or pray,
Drink or be dull, he learns not nor shall learn
The lesson that will laugh the world away.
The word as gray or just as golden shines,
The wine ss sweet or Just es bitter flows,
For you as me; and you, like me, may-hnd
Perfume or canker in the reddest rose.
The tale of life is hard TO understand;
But while the cup waits ready to your hand
Drink and declare the summer roses blow
As red in London as in Samarcand.
Lips are as sweet to kiss and eyes as bright
As ever fiattered Omar with delight;
English or Persian, while the mouth is fair
What can it matter how it says good nightS

Gently returned from visit to Florida

Florida is delightful place oD account

like n orthern State because 80 many
Northern people have gone there. The
people of the South are extremely cour-
teons and affable. In their hospitality
they are unbounded. They treat North
ern people with exceeding great cordi
ality. 1t is only when politics is touch+
ed that they change front. The feature
of their talk about politics which most
struck me was that which contains a
reflection on the Democratic party of
the North. Almost invariably the
Southern Democrat says to the RepublI-
can who goes down there from the
North: Our Democratic organization in
the South occupies the same relative po-
sitlon to the people as the Republican
party occupies at the North. The Dem
ocratfc party here in the South is made
up of brains and intelligence and capa>
city. The poor whites and the blacks
are in the Republican party. You know
how that is in the North because the ell
ements are transposed there In other
words, the Democrat of the South argues
to the Republican of the North that the
Democratic party of the North is made
up of ignorant people and raff-rsff. That
is certainly not complimentary TO their
brethren."-N. Y. Tribune.
